.20 4U whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN Pnoeron HAsArn'. of Salisbury, in the county of Essex, of the (lmnmouwenlth of Massachusetts,-have invented a new and useful Improvement in Finishing-Bands or Trilmning for'Carriagcs, 800.; and I do hereby declare the same to hcdescribed n the following specification and represented in the accompanyingdrawiugs, of which- Figure 1 is a front'view, m d'Fig. 2'atra'nsimproved kind. Fig. 3 is a'fron't View, and 1* lg. 4 a transverse seetion', 0f part of a carto it. Fig. 5 iso transverse seetion of the finish to the edges of seats or various other par-ls of a vehicle that are usually covered. with cloth. r

vThe trimming is composed of. a strip, A, of

width. l'tis-first, near one edge-of it, bent closely around'a cord, wire, or strip of rattan, a, and afterward, near the said edge, it issewed in or down upon itself, as shown ate, and the iap or fold is fastened to the strip by a. line of middle uponitsel'f, so as .to carry the lastnamed fold up to the fold egtendinghround the-stiffening. Finally, a iine'of stitching, d,

.3 tore,

to represent a carriage-seat covered edits up per and lower surfaces and'front edge with cloth 0, the trimming A,'wit h -its front flap 4o turned down as shown at Z, is to he laid on the cloth at the edge of the seat, and seemed thereto and to the seat by nails or fiabks i driven through the part against the seat and cloth and into the seat, after which the said 45 flap is to he turned up over'and so as to cover the row of tacks, and is to be glued or ee'" mented to their heads and to the fastened part of the trimming, so as to hide the tacks from .Yiew and make a finish to the seat.

- Sometimes I place 'within the lower bend or fold-of the trimming acord 01' stifieuer, f, like that shown at a, in which case the trimming would be in transverse section, as represented in Fig. 5. H

In some'ca'ses, when the trimming is used around thepdgc of a chair-seat covered with leather or cloth, it may hesec'u'red thereto by brassheadcd nails drivenjthrough the trimming, so as to the'outer surface of such trimming.

Iclaimi j As a new or improved article of manuinc the carriage-trimming,- suhstantially as described, consisting of the strip of leather. 65 or other suitable material folded near its op; posite edges and middle, and a row of stitchingiin each fold, and a stifl'eningflcord or hand in the upper one, as represented, such trimming also, if required, having another 'snch"7o cord or band in its lowerfold, all being substautially and for use as set forth;
